    alright! today (finally!) i got my sensebender micro. they should send something right away, right?
    so i plugged one in and got this on the gateway:

    pi@raspgateway:~/MySensors $ sudo ./bin/mysgw -d                                                                                  mysgw: Starting gateway...

    mysgw: !TSF:MSG:LEN,7!=32
    mysgw: TSF:MSG:READ,255-255-0,s=255,c=3,t=3,pt=0,l=0,sg=0:

    mysgw: !TSF:MSG:LEN,7!=32
    

    does this mean anything? i don't get it at all...

      Something is not quite right... See parsed log.

      Message length seems to be a bit off and command type=7 ?? Doesn't make any sense.

        what's next? i tried to upload the sensebender micro sketch (couldn't find it in the lib) but had several errors. couldn't find a beginner-beginner tutorial on how to upload a first sketch.
        Generally this output points to an error with gateway or with sensor?

          You must add the micro to your board manager first. Instructions here:
          https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards

          The Sensebender Micro sketch is available here:
          https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/tree/master/Arduino/SensebenderMicro

          Did you decoupling capacitor on gateway? Do you have more radios to test with in the case one is broken?

            i found the board but i don't get how to load the sketch ON the board :/
            first thought was to c&p the code from https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/tree/master/Arduino/SensebenderMicro

            fatal error: SI7021.h: No such file or directory
            

            second thought was to look for an example sketch. no luck.

            i have other radios. but i'd really love to upload the (right) sketch first... just... how?

            did i what exactly?
            all i can say that i wired the gateway with one of the specified NRF24L01+ Radios.
            Same radio on sensebender.

              you need to install library for SI7021

                took libraries from here: https://github.com/mysensors/MySensorsArduinoExamples
                will investigate further.

                i think i got the sensor up and running and it can't find a gateway?

                debug

                  In Arduino ide open library manager and search for that library or manually download it and choose to install new library as zip file.
                  For debug you posted it looks the node it is missing the node ID

                    ok, thought this would be auto assigned: "Define a static node address, remove if you want auto address assignment"
                    new debug: everything ok with this sensor?
                    debug

                    Next Stop Gateway? Should i just try another radio?

                      Auto assign works if everything else is working and you have a controller that is able to assign node id.
                      Now it seems there is no communication with gateway: do you also have a log for the gateway? Did you put capacitors on the vcc/gnd on both gateway and node? Keep in mind that RPI is not very suited to power the nrf24 radio.

                        the gateway "log" is some posts above.

                        should i provide another log?

                        i didn't use any capacitors, neither gateway, nor node.
                        here isn't anything regarding capacitors.
                        and [here](lhttps://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry under section "NRF24L01+ Radio" it only says "If you are using the nrf24 PA/LNA version you need to use a 5V->3.3V regulator.", but i'm using these so i thought it's ok without using regulators.
                        or is a regulator something different than a capacitor?

                          Voltage regulator is OK but you need a capacitor 4.7uF or bigger on vcc/gnd of radio module. Those modules are probably the same as I bought 4 months ago and they are cheap clones and don't have good range but they work with the proper capacitor.

                            okay :(
                            i'll take a look around, hopefully i can get a few somewhere.
                            does the log indicate that there's a problem with radio? (length?)

                              I bought the adapters for nrf24 on gearbest, they have ams1117 regulator and capacitor. Very easy to use.
